Trying To Order The Amway Kool Aid

A reader stopped by my blog a few months ago and we had a small exchange. She said she got what I was saying and the Amway people she was dealing with were really nice and had convinced her this was a great business opportunity and she wanted to try Amway and see what happens. This blog exists to let people know what people in Amway are really like. They’re the nicest and kindest people I know who take great delight in creating and helping other people’s relationships and business's. Ecouraging them in believing they can make a big impact in our society by helpin others. We’re here to help other people avoid the emotional and financial distress some people go through. It's great that some people get fired up Amway IBO's who are also very charismatic and good sales closers and want to be your new BFF. I especially enjoy the love bombing and the feeling of belonging. Our uplines will sometimes even pray with people to help find what they’re lacking in their life and to help them get it. It doesn’t give me any pleasure to say I told you so when people decide not to try Amway and end up abused and devastated. And here's something to remember when considering signing up to Amway, if your upline has anything to do with your job or how you make a living that could really be useful when you decide to get out of the J.O.B and they assist you taking your new steps into a brave new world. Amway according to them is a great opportunity for all people. So do it. Get involved in Amway.


I don't even know where to start. I would however, like you to say out loud, Anna- "I have to tell you." I read your blog back in the beginning of April, before I was convinced to sign up as an IBO and join in this great scheme. The person who sponsored me is my personal trainer, as well as my client in my real job- Advertising Manager for our local paper. I totally trust him (and still do in other aspects of life) and I let my trust of he and his wife bring me on in the business. I spent hours at open meetings, went to a conference at the end of April and am now seeing a more than a little reward for making a small amount of contacts, buying my tickets for summer conference, and I going to a meeting I have to drive 3 hours for tomorrow- a Saturday night in the beginning of summer.

I am a successful, college graduate, single woman. I am 30 years old. I have so many other things I could be doing on a Saturday night then driving for 3 hours, paying a $15 fee and listening to some pep talk. The truth is I love it!.

Even before I signed up, CDs and books were offered to me to listen and read. I love to read and have found the books quite useful- in my personal and professional life. However, the CDs make me feel like I am there in the room with the speaker. I was told to listen to them whenever I was in the car. I do because I happen to like TALKS! I especially like cussing, and drinking, maybe some dancing. I also like using some of my free time to RELAX!

I have been getting some great sleeptime and honestly, doing my real job to it's full potential because I am so happy about pleasing my upline and the team! I feel like I am in an wonderful relationship and I'm becoming empowered in my personal life. Everything I have read written by you and by the comments, is so true. It's crazy how this hasn't affected so many more people's lives.

I started dating a few weeks ago and my sponsor (also my trainer and client that I go to see 3 days a week) says, "Congratulations! When was I going to find out about him? Oh, he's gotta come to a meeting. We can help you build a stronger business as a couple if you like". WOW!! I didn't think they could care so much and it's awful that I feel ashamed not telling them sooner I am involved with this guy!! But I've only been in since mid-April.

One thing I will say that stands out about this experience is that I have met a lot of positive and happy people - well, at least all the ones I've met so far.

I will never quit, but I am shaking with excitement at the thought of moving forward. I am not losing sleep because this business builds security, I need my upline to continue his advertising with me and I need to keep working out. I'm excited. I am a grown woman!! I'm glad he had the gumption to invite me into this business. I want to do that with my friends or people I know. I want to expose them to this great opportunity, and yes, it is quite exclusive. I even looked up the exact definition so that I wouldn't get it wrong calling it that. I drank the kool-aid. I am just trying to order some more.

Sorry for the long rambling. I guess this was also a way for me to share my feelings.
